The Growing Communities Project at Gloucester Services Northbound will soon have an interpretation panel so the motorway services customers can understand a little more about the unique charitable partnership between the Services and Gloucestershire Gateway Trust.

This Gloucestershire Gateway Trust project is creating a productive landscape, planted and maintained by local residents on Gloucester Services site, providing opportunities for local residents of all ages to visit, have fun and gain work skills while learning more about wildlife, our local landscapes and growing food.
